II on as skillfully as hired mason would
do the job. No creyice or hole escapes the
vigilant eye, and that is the reason why We
never hear Of a beaver dam being washed
! away.
This animal never hesitates to tackle a
| tree, no matter what the size may be. The
writer has seen some beaver stumps as
much as thirty inches in diameter COM
pletely cut through by their saw-like
teeth, and again others that must have
measured in diameter as much as three
feet In the park on the border Of Beaver
lake Is one giant cottonwood that was evil
IDENTIFY attempted by two Of the animals at
one time but right here curious miscal-.
culation was made by the workers. A log
lay against the tree on the uphill side, and
at this point one of the pair started in to
slaughter the tree, while the other worked
from the ground on the opposite side and
fully two feet lower than his comrade. Pre-
vious to commencing the job large, rotten
limb had first been cut away to make room
for the workers; but after all it was labor
lost, for the tree was never utilized. 1t
fell against another large tree and remains
in that position to-day. There are many
other trees in the park girdled, though not
entirely cut through. The food of beav-
ers in this latitude consists principally of
willow, aspen, cottonwood, alder, and the
balm of Gi!ead but, as remarked, they
are gradually retreating before the en-
croacsments of civilization, so that the
principal beaver colonies in the Northwest
to-day are high up among the peaks of the
Rocky mountains.
Wherever water can be found there will
the beaver go. The cottonwood tree dis
appears at about 5000 feet, and for the
next 1000 feet the quaking aspen becomes
the favorite bill of fare; but when the as
pen supply becomes rather limited, then
the little rodents depend chiefly upon
willows and dwarfed shrubs 1t is well to
note that they will touch no kind of resin
Gus wood for food, although pines and frs

For the RECoRD-UNIoN1
SUNSET ON SILVER LAKE, CALI.
FORNIA.

The mountain crest is bathed in light,
In sunshine full and golden,
While just below, the shadows creep,
Like speetres grim and olden.
A moment space A change has come
The golden line has faded
Aud where it shone upon the crown,
Are pink and purple shaded.
The tall fir trees their regal robes
Assume, like monarchs grand;
And well they show their kingly grace,
Upon this lonely strand
The lake gives answer to the mount,
In tints still lovelier
For pink and gold with emerald blend,
AS shine the waters clear.
A change once more Days king has gone
Now eray's the shadowy lake.
The mountain frowns in uarksome mood,
Their glory, the trees forsake.
And now the moon pale in her pride,
Rides high DER waters dark.
And throw a sheen of silYery light
Around our floating bark

How SOME LADIES FAsTEN THEIR Cor
sETs.-An interesting fact was stated in
the course Of lecture on tight lacing. de-
livered yesterday October 18TH by Miss
Hefiler-Arnim. The lecturer said she had
heard" of instances where ladies were so
determined not to exceed the fashionable
measurement that they had actually held
on to crossbar while their maids had fas-
tened the 15-inch corsets." Being but i'm
perfectly acquainted with these mysteries,
we can only suppose that the effect of
holding on to a croSsbar is to elongate the
body more than would be possible by
merely standing upright. There seems 10
be field for invention here. If it really
Is so important to squeeze the body inside
l5-inch cylinder, let it be done scientific
ally. A combined body-stretcher and
waist-compressor would supply decided
want. Indeed, it ought to have been IL
vented before fashion decreed the I5-inch
corset. 1t is surely very thoughtless to or
der people to make themselves measure
fifteen inches around the waist without
providing them with the necessary ma
chinery.-.St. James Gazette.

THE GEOLOGICAL GARDEN

l used to live there, and it was a great
pleasure for me to go out every now and

garden, comprising about 675 acres, was
given to the city by wealthy gentleman.
When people have plenty of money, they
can do great deal of good, if so disposed,
and it is then that wealth is blessing.
This garden has pleased and instructed
thousands, and done more lasting good

Christian faith is a grand cathedral
with divinely pictured windows. Standing
without, you see no glory nor can possibly
imagine any; standing within, every ray
OF light reveals harmony of unspeakable
splendors.
Now at last we want the truth, for out
of its absence nothing but folly ever came,
and every figure of the past imposed upon
the present as wholly grand, beautiful or
exemplary, is an agency of mischief and
deceit-W. L. Ho,uells.
Love is the one thing on earth we can
never lose. 1t is like cool river growing

our country. and the great family of man.
If ours is the Christians hope, let us ex-
tend it to the toiling and the SHINING who
are without hope and without God in
the word If ours is the devotion of
Christian patriotism, if we really love this
deal old country, let us make it clear to
ourselves and to others that "our citizen

becometh the gospel of Christ" To will
what God wills is the only science that

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
The Rights Of Mixed BloOds.

In the United States District Court at
st. Paul, the jury in the suit OF Gus H.
Beaulieu against the Indian Agent T. J.
Sheehan, OF the White Earth reservation,
brought in verdict in Mr.. Be&ulieu's ia
vor, awarding him $3.50 damages, and
granting him the right to carry on the pub
Iication OF his paper upon the reservation.
Nelson decided that Mr.. Beaulieu could
claim the right Of jurisdiction from
the court upon the same terms
as any other citizen of the United
States, despite the fact OF his
being OF Indian parentage, This is decjs-
ion OF exceeding interest, and is believed to
be the first case upon record where half
breed has been granted such a right.
While the jury's verdict permits the issue
OF the paper within the confines Of White
Earth reservation, it does not grant to
Mr.. Beaulieu the privilege OF residing up
on the reservation as long as his residence
is opposed by the government agent. The
latter has conferred upon him by the de-
partment at Washington absolute sway
over the reservation where he is stationed,
and is empowered to eject all persons
whose presence he may consider detrimen-
tai to the interests OF the resident Indians.
